While Sutton's record since Paul Doswell took over as manager is hugely impressive, their success rate in the first game of the season could hardly be described similarly, and that record was extended to one win in nine games as Solihull Moors came out on top in the battle of last season's North and South Division champions.
It wasn't quite as chastening as U's debut in the National League South, when they were swept aside 5-0 by Woking, but it was still a disappointing start as U's failed to make the most of a dominant first half display, and then struggled to make any impact after Solihull had taken the lead for the second time early in the second half.
